WaPo Partnering Up with Beijing to Keep an Eye on China

The Washington Post isn’t much better than the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. So it isn’t much of a surprise that they’re partnering up with the Chinese government to publish “China Watch,” a ChiCom propaganda publication disguised as news. The Washington Free Beacon has the sordid details.

At issue is the Post’s China Watch publication, a print and online advertising supplement that purports to deliver the news about China. The site hosts numerousarticles and feature pieces that portray the Chinese government—particularly its human rights record—in a glowing light.

Some journalism experts and China observers say the partnership crosses ethical boundaries and misleads unassuming readers about the Chinese government’s lackluster record on a host of important issues.
